Time passed quickly like running water, and in the blink of an eye, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month was over.
The fifteenth day of the first lunar month should be a happy day for family reunion, but for the Cheng family and the Zheng family, it is the countdown to separation. Tomorrow, Cheng Haoyu will take Zheng Xinyi back to the army. It is really hard to say when they will be able to come back.
"Son, eat more. You will be returning to the army tomorrow, and you don't know when you will be able to eat home-cooked meals again." Zhang Fengrong put a piece of meat into Cheng Haoyu's bowl.
"Xinyi, you should eat too. After we return to the army tomorrow, Haoyu will depend on you to take care of him." Cheng Dayu said.
Zheng Xinyi responded with a smile: "Dad, Mom, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Haoyu."
After dinner, Zhang Fengrong cleaned up the dishes and began to prepare Cheng Haoyu's luggage for tomorrow. Although there was not much to take, Zhang Fengrong packed two large suitcases.
The next morning, after Cheng Haoyu and Zheng Xinyi had dressed and washed up, Zhang Fengrong placed the prepared breakfast on the table and said, "I'll have Haoyang and Haoting see you off later. Your father and I won't be there."
Cheng Dayu and Zhang Fengrong are old and don't want to go through this kind of farewell scene at the station.
"Mom, no need. Xinyi and I have to say goodbye to my father-in-law and mother-in-law later. It's really inconvenient for Haoyang and Haoting to follow us. Besides, Xinyi and I are not children. We can go to the station by ourselves." Cheng Haoyu responded.
"Haoyang, bring your brother's suitcase over here." Zhang Fengrong frowned slightly and turned to Cheng Haoyang.
When Cheng Haoyang took out two large suitcases filled with gifts, Cheng Haoyu was stunned: "Mom, what are these?"
Cheng Haoyu curiously opened the suitcase, which was filled with food and unimportant things. Cheng Haoyu picked out some unnecessary things and said, "Mom, I really don't need to bring these things."
"Son, you have to take a train for such a long time. How can you do it without some food and drinks on the train?" Zhang Fengrong said with concern.
"Then you don't need to bring so much. Mom, are you planning to move all the food at home to the army for me? I only need to bring these, and leave the rest to Haoyang and Haoting!" Cheng Haoyu said.
"Brother, we don't need it. We can eat these things at home. You and sister-in-law can take them with you and eat them on the road!" said Cheng Haoting.
Of course Cheng Haoyu knew that Haoting lied to him just to make him feel at ease taking these things. It would be a blessing for the family to have these eggs and braised pork once a year.
A particularly grateful palm fell on Cheng Haoting's face: "Good sister, I really don't need these. You and your brother should take good care of our father and mother at home. I will come back to see you when I have time."
"Brother, don't worry. I'm grown up now and can support the family." Cheng Haoyang said solemnly.
Cheng Haoyu nodded slightly, and his palm with a meaningful look fell on his shoulder, patting it a few times. Then he picked up the suitcase and turned away silently with Zheng Xinyi.
Accompanied by Cheng Haoting and Cheng Haoyang, Cheng Dayu and Zhang Fengrong accompanied them all the way to the gate of the hospital.
"Dad, Mom, it's cold outside, why don't you go back soon? I will take good care of Haoyu, don't worry!" Zheng Xinyi said in a tone of assurance.
Cheng Haoyu raised his eyes to meet Zhang Fengrong's moistened ones, then immediately looked away. He said in a slightly commanding tone, "Haoyang, bring your parents into the house."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left with Zheng Xinyi without looking back.
